Ok, I did some more debugging and found why this happens. discover
recognizes the devices in the same order all the time. However, while
hw-detect honours that order, after boot /etc/init.d/discover sorts
the modules in order to eliminate duplicates:
MODULES=$(discover --module $ARGUMENTS | sort -u)
So while "discover --module all" reports:
via-rhine
3c59x
They are in fact loaded in reverse order after the sort.
